FLOAT – Climb with Conviction. Descend with Determination.
This FOX air shock is a complete, lightweight package that meets the demands of the modern Trail mountain bike. As a representative of the Performance series, the FLOAT rear shock features a black anodized finish on the air can and body, instead of the gold Kashima coating found on Factory models.

Evolved for Modern Trail Riders. The FLOAT rear shock skillfully bridges the gap between the performance-focused FLOAT X and the extremely lightweight FLOAT SL, but it is by no means mediocre. Thanks to the large-volume EVOL air suspension, the rider can operate the shock at lower air pressure, providing a more linear feel throughout the suspension's travel. The result is smoother handling over small bumps, better tire grip, and an air shock that doesn't reach its limits even on the most demanding descents.
Ride without Compromise. Optimizing suspension for Trail riding means creating a solid platform that allows for efficient pedaling and climbing without compromising downhill performance. With the help of reinforced valves and an oversized IFP piston, the FLOAT model not only has a wider adjustment range but also better damping control that approaches the downhill characteristics of the FLOAT X, while still being more compact and lightweight.
Trail Versatility in a XC Package. The air shock, suitable for both short, steep trails and long, extended ones, owes its reduced weight not least to its inline design and Piggyback-free construction. The absence of the latter also provides more space for bottle cages and greater compatibility with a wide range of Trail and E-MTB frames.
Features of the FLOAT air shock:
increased performance, consistency, and tunability thanks to a large-diameter main piston and revised valves and IFP (Internal Floating Piston)
lightweight, one-piece EVOL air can for better and more responsive performance
MCU Bottom-Out Bumper to maintain end-stroke progression
